Just a side note... I am not sure about what will be my spare time in the months to come, but if you want help or if I can do anything to help you updating the programs in Oric.org, just drop me a line, ok?

I know this is a quite hard work, and I don't know if you are the only one doing this...

I'm afraid The Hobbit uses custom saving and loading routines that work only with cassette.
And, even if it used the ROM calls it would be necessary to have some patched ROM in order to emulate that behavior, I think.

Does it need the custom saving and loading routines at all?
As long as the SAVE and LOAD are symmetrical, I don't see any particular reason why a simple SAVE and LOAD calls would not work, or is the game doing something very fancy with the way it treats data?
